Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Red Woman'
Will Davos ever get that mutton?
After the long winter, which stretched from June to April, spring has sprung and brought with it new episodes of Game of Thrones.
The time for the endless theorising, speculation, and rumours after the events of Season 5 and trailers for Season 6 has been pushed to one side, as we finally have new material to pour over.
The Red Woman was the episode charged with kicking Season 6 off, and it did so with style, tension, and mystery. It was, for the most part, a standard season premiere for Game of Thrones. It needed to establish the location of most of the key players, give a quick reminder about what's going on, and start setting up the pieces it'll slowly move over the course of the next few episodes.
With that, we saw Brienne finally getting the chance to protect Sansa, Arya begin her blind training, Cersei deal with Myrcella's death, the fallout from the Night's Watch mutiny, and Daenerys held captive by the Dothraki, and that's not even everything that was included in this character-packed episode.
Now that the Thrones machine is finally back up and running, it's time to analyse everything we've just witnessed in the episode, and The Red Woman certainly left us with a lot to question about the season ahead.
10. How Will Dany Escape The Dothraki?
While Daenerys being taken as a prisoner was expected, given she was surrounded by a khalasar at the end of Season 5, what happened when she was actually brought before Khal Moro wasn't. Rather than going through with his original, rather awful plan, he discovers that she is the widow of Khal Drogo, and thus must be taken to Vaes Dothrak to live with the dosh kaleen, the other widows of slain Khals.
Although not as bad as it initially seemed, it's still a sticky situation that Dany has landed in (or rather, Drogon landed her in). Now that she's confirmed she's Drogo's widow, is there any way she could talk her way out of this? It doesn't appear so, and nor does it seem likely that Jorah and Daario would be much use. As skilled as they are in combat, they can't exactly take on an entire khalasar.
So... Drogon, then?
